I can do this already by right clicking on a file name.

Then a selection pups up from which I can choose "Copy"
and then I have to do the same thing again to paste.

What I then get is not the file's name but the complete URL
including the file:// in front of the complete path.
Not what I asked for, just too much.

More important to me, this is the windows way.
I prefer the Linux/Unix way.

This was the reason I switched from KDE to Xfce.

More generally expressed, I would like to see the approved and 
established behavior of X11 and Linux terminal windows to be preserved.
